New part in iPhone 14 and 14 Pro chipset split

Since the beginning of spring, a rumor has been circulating on the Internet that Apple intends to increase the stratification between the base iPhone 14 and their

Pro versions by using different chipsets:last year's A15 and A16 respectively. New confirmation of this was a fresh report from Trendforce researchers, which also clarified some important points of separation. Firstly, the increase in RAM from 4 to 6 GB is again mentioned in the case of the basic iPhone 14 and 14 Max, which puts them on par with the iPhone 14 Pro and 14 Pro Max (albeit on the old LPDDR4X standard versus LPDDR5 for firmware). 8221;).

Secondly, it is assumed that the younger iPhone 14will receive a more powerful version of the A15 from the iPhone 13 Pro/13 Pro Max with a 5-core GPU (remember, the basic iPhone 13 and 13 mini run on a stripped-down version of the A15 with a 4-core GPU). Considering the above, the question arises - which option will Apple prefer: reduce prices for basic models or, on the contrary, increase the markup of products, which will have a positive impact on profits. And, as winter rumors say, the company is leaning towards the second option.
